The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.

Access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.

Please be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.

Please note that due to the location of the property TV reception is often intermittent or lost. No reception for Channel 4.

There are guided tours of the lighthouse throughout the year (subject to availability). If you would like to view the lighthouse please visit http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses/visitor-centres.html or telephone 01983 730435.

"S41624 is beautiful with stunning views. Would have rated 5* but found it difficult to open and shut the windows throughout the cottage. Feel they need a little maintenance and the window fitting/stays updating as they were a little rusty. There was also a damp patch on the bathroom ceiling above the shower creating a musty smell. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our break at this cottage but felt that the Start Point lighthouse cottage was overall in a better condition ."

"Great location and well represented in the images. Bigger than I thought. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchen could do with an update. The handle on cupboard fell off and oven was a bit old. Apart from that wonderful. May be good to get a mid week service. My mother in law likes a fresh towel everyday - so I ended up doing lots of washing!"

"We arrived to find water pouring into the electrical box in the hall. We had to wait with the electricity off for an hour until the electrician arrived to make a temporary repair. At the end of our stay the housekeeper kindly let us leave late as there was nobody coming into the cottage that day (luckily, as our teenagers were still asleep at 10!)"

"Cottage was perfect, clean and tidy. Got a phone call to make sure we had settled in ok which added that little extra thought and attention."

Confirmed Guest

"Excellent property as usual. Have been staying here regularly for 5-6 years. No major concerns but some of the fixtures and fittings could do with decorating and/or perhaps a deep clean to maintain the high standards. This is mainly just general wear and tear as expected, but good to keep these things in check."

"House keeper was very helpful and polite she could not havedone more it was wonderful cottage, fantastic holiday."

"BUT- cottages are faded and need reinvestment - particularly heating which is in some rooms not working, in others hardly safe, and some radiators have broken controls. This is not acceptable.
There was a separate electrical fault which was reported to the caretaker.
Updated joining directions are required as the Undercliff access road has now been out of action for two years and signage has changed and it invalidates your joining instructions and now sends one away from the property. Thank goodness for GPS.
This is our third stay in Trinity House properties, and first for a few years - they are not now representing good quality and value and should have modernisation.
Properties not now a good advertisement for RR or Trinity House.
This FEEDBACK PROFORMA NEEDS SOME ATTENTION - VERY UNCLEAR WHAT EACH SECTION IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT !!!"

"Our fifth RR. Lighthouse, a perfect base to explore the island. A 20-minute walk to Reeth beach - but will need to scramble over rocks to get there. Crab Shed at Steephill Cover excellent for lunch. Reed on the front at Sandown - Brasserie style. Whitecliff Bay is idyllic, but a climb down. Salty's at Yarmouth - excellent sea food. For a real special ruthless treat - the 'Y' course taster menu at the Hambrugh (Ventnor) well worth the £85 a head, treat for a special occasion. Our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. LC, Stourbridge"

"Another wonderful trip to St Catherine's for a great birthday celebration. I know my husband has to visit more regularly to look after the lighthouse, but it is still the most beautiful place. How can it be just a job? We have had a fantastic warm sunshine with the odd moving fog patches and quick showers but very random. The evening "full moon" has been spectacular. Last night saw it glowing red on the horizon, what a picture. I could just sit and gaze out of the dining room window forever, lazily watching the wildlife, walkers and ever changing sea whilst listening to the sky lark high above. Heavenly. SD, Essex"

Confirmed Guest

"We have had such a lovely time at this amazing lighthouse. Such beautiful surroundings. Due to the great weather we had, we spent many hours on the beach at Ventnor and Shanklin. Lovely meal at the Spyglass, Ventnor - partly as our little one (1.5 years) was asleep! We hope to return very soon.LF, Fielden"

"Second stay in a Trinity House Lighthouse (we loved Nash Point as well). Great beer in the Biddle Inn - only a short walk up the hill. Frogmarched children to Ventnor along cliff tops - a great walk rewarded with Fish & Chips freshly made from Ventnor Haven (far end of the sea front). Brilliant spot, views, warm and cosy (very cold Easter mind). Enjoyed foxes, spotted a Black redstart - something for everyone. Happy days! LV, Bristol"

"Our second Trinity Lighthouse cottage. Great walks from Freshwater Bay to Yarmouth. The crab and chips from Ventnor were really nice as was the fresh fish. The bakery at Cowes does wonderful bacon rolls. Lovely. CP, Dunstable"

"Our fourth stay here, but this time we had the luxury of a week. So many highlights but a few were Steephill Cove and The Crab Pasty. Osborne House, the walk to St Catherine's Oratory, Hoy Monument and back via Niton. Best of all just sitting at the dining room window in the evening watching the ships and the full moon on the sea. Thank you for the hamper and such comfortable beds. A & M, Somerset"

"This is a wonderful cottage in a stunning location - the best equipped holiday home we have ever rented. We feel very much at home here. Our favourite trips here to the Botanical Gardens in Ventnor (with a lovely lunch in their cafe), Osborne House (plus a delicious lunch in their restaurant) and just for fun, the chair lift at the Needles. But most of all we loved the calm, beauty and quality of light at St Catherine's itself, and the wonderful walks in the hills around it. It gets Dandy's vote too for being doggie heaven! SB, France"

Confirmed Guest

"Our second RR lighthouse and a stunning location! We've had a great time - the beach at Ventnor is perfect for one year old as well as parents who swim. Lovely walks around Niton and along the coast. Minghell's ice cream is by far the best! JC, London"

"A fab short break at this lovely lighthouse. Very comfortable accommodation, gorgeous location, a very welcome, welcome hamper and unbelievably hot sunny weather for this time of year. We have spent most of our time walking along the coastal path, but would also recommend The Old Battery and the Needles and carry on by foot along the coastal path to the Tennyson memorial, Mottistone Garden (and lovely tea garden!) and the Taverns Pub at Godsmill which has really good food and welcoming staff.
